    The proper attitude in Iraq

    Why can we not take a similar approach in Iraq, that was given to Japan in WWII I submit for your inspection: Highlights mine. That puts it pretty succinctly, "stop or we turn you into a parking lot." This attitude while easily obtainable in 1942-45 is completely foreign now. Can no...

    Exscuse me Reverand, But that's a dang nice M4

    Dang it Tom! You busted my cooler!

    Ever had a guy show up to hunt whose drop from the gene pool was probably some stinky stagnant swamp water? Todd showed up at the invitation of Tom's brother (the lawyer). HE arrived bearing a case of Bacardi as a gift for the lawyer that had gotten him out of a bit of trouble. Granted I...
